      leaving all of the windows down today to get the smell of febreeze out of the car. I know its an odor eliminator, and I love the shit and that it does its job, they just need one that leaves no after scent that gives me a headache and that lasts 48+ hours.

      And I also realized I probably made some of the go fast guys here mad, I am doing my hardest to eliminate the lack of options, and ADDING a lot of weight (wait until I get my stereo built) lol. With the heavier seats, and the power seat mechanisms, I added roughly 200 pounds in an hour.

        I am in the same boat. I add all luxuries and then just add some more power to get the old girl back where she started. lol

              Looking good.

              You have manual windows and cruise control? funky. Then again I have climate control and no passenger-side mirror, so I'm not one to talk.

                    Interesting, so you're installing power windows! You installing power locks and mirrors too? If you need help with any of that I can give you scan some evtm pages, and give you a link to a site with some wiring diagrams for you.

                      The mirrors are staying manual. The windows and locks however aren't. And I will probably need help somewhere along the line lol. I have an EVTM, but I'm using aftermarket kits (autoloc to be exact)

                        if you want to add remote locks you could always wire in something like this kit:


                        and then run the antenna wire up and under the dash pad.

                          Interior Pics

                          The car is airing out all day today, as the weather is PERFECT outside, so I got some good interior shots.









                          And the best part is, I nabbed the rear seat belts out of the parts car as well. The plastic that holds the retractable belts is STILL INTACT!



                          I'm starting to sell some stuff, get some extra cash to start prepping the car for winter. I'm going to sandblast the steel wheels, pint them with some semi-gloss rust tough paint, and run explorer center caps.
